Tender lobster pieces gently cooked in rich, fragrant garlic butter—this elegant dish is simple to prepare yet indulgent enough for special occasions, romantic dinners, or upscale appetizers.
Ingredients
-
2 lobster tails (about 225–250 g / 8–9 oz each), shell removed and meat cut into bite-sized pieces
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
Optional: pinch of chili flakes for heat
Instructions
1. Prepare the Lobster
Pat the lobster meat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt gently without browning.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–45 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
3. Cook the Lobster Bites
Add the lobster pieces to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently, until the meat turns opaque and lightly golden. Avoid overcooking, as lobster becomes tough quickly.
4. Finish the Sauce
Reduce heat to low. Stir in lemon juice and optional chili flakes. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the lobster to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot.
